For most of my life, I have struggled with my weight. I have tried literally everything out there. From counting calories, to cutting out carbs, to going vegetarian (the most difficult day and a half of my life my the way), to not eating at all. Absolutely nothing worked. Until my mom and I decided to join Weight Watchers. All was going well, until we got too busy to go to meetings. Soon, we left. A year later, we came back. Same thing happened. Now, we're back, and have been for nearly a year now. I haven't put my heart and soul into it, and as a result, my weight has done nothing but yo yo for the past year. I'd lose a couple of pounds, then gain them back. Finally, I am just tired of living the way that I am. I want to be healthy, I want to live longer. I want to be able to live life without having to worry about heart problems, or diabetes, or have to be on a million medications when I get older. That is the reason why I am doing this. Not purely for aesthetic reasons, although they certainly are a perk. I want to live a healthier life style.
Hence, where I got the idea for this blog. For the next 365 days, I will be typing what I've had to eat, drink, and how I've exercised throughout the day. I will warn you, if anyone is reading this, there may be a day or two where I do not post. And there will be about 10 days in June where I will not have any access to a computer. But do not fear. I will write everything down by hand, and then put it into my blog.
This blog will also include a "Weight Update" every Saturday afternoon, seeing as I go to Weight Watchers meetings on Saturday mornings, then yoga afterwards. And hopefully, by the end of this 365 day period, I will be down to 120 pounds, my lifetime goal.
The official start to my "Food Diary" and "Exercise Diary" will begin tomorrow. My "Weight Update" will begin tonight.
Weight Update:
Weight as of 3/17/12: 221 pounds.
Pounds lost: 4 pounds
Pounds to go: 101 pounds
